Great to hear!

For right now. It will release to everyone in the not too distant future

It's linked in the description if you are on MacOS or Linux. Otherwise it's in the HueForge folder

You can just disable a slider by clicking on the layer number button under it. I'm not sure I understand the question about using three colors. You can't always get the same results but you just use three colors.

@@hueforging Thanks, I only have 3 appropriate colours on hand and wanted to try anyway.

In the original version, the lights are around the side. The diffuser is in the bottom to reflect light up to the top. In your configuration you would want to put it between your lights and the top

It is still going to be a month or two at this point. And you will get an email from Digital Downloads Pro with the update when it comes out.

@@hueforging cannot wait, thank you :)

Yes, I wrote it.

@@hueforging thank you! I’ve had hueforge on the back burner to checkout and probably purchase a personal use copy first to get acquainted then later some commercial use. These videos will definitely accelerate that. Thanks for an awesome product and great content.

Great to hear. To be transparent, Color Match is not currently in the Personal Use version. It is a beta only feature right now, but will come to Personal Use when it leaves beta.

Very glad this video could be a help to someone!

It could be extrusion, or it could be needing a little more tolerance in the fit. I've definitely scaled X and Y to like 99% before to get a fit. Or used a file.

They don't do things automatically, you have to put your colors in the right places. Color Match puts the places by your colors.

Color Match is a thing but it's not in the personal use version because it is currently a beta feature that's why the title is 0.8.0-beta only

@@hueforging So why is ther no mention whatsoever in your video about that? All I have is your videos. I've wasted a log of time trying to understand Hueforge and so far I have not been able to preapre anything worth printing.

Please look at the title of the video. Also, I'm guessing you are trying to prepare an incredibly complicated image without first learning how the basics work. Lots of people make amazing images with the resources provided in earlier versions. I recommend trying an image with fire colors to start with.

For color match, it is expected you know the basics of how HueForge works. If you don't, color match will be very very hard.

@@hueforging So, as a new user to the program, how do I learn Hueforge? There is no manual, as far as I can see, only uour videos.

There are much more basic videos (end to end and sliders demystified for instance), and there is a start at HueForge.wiki in particular explaining how color pop and color aware work.

Correct, that feature is not in v0.7.3

Correct, the tutorial folder isn't in v0.7.3

@@hueforging Entorely unhelpful. Again - I am adrift. If you've made the decision to forego a manual in favour of videos, and those videos are out of date, then you've left me and everyone else with nowhere to go. I suppose I could go to your Discord server and beg for help from the public but this isn't my idea of fun. You already told me I have totally misunderstood how yourt program works and should watch these videos, so here I am and I have to say it isn't helping.

It's extremely hard to help someone from the text description "it's not working". The Discord or Facebook groups allow posting images of your attempts and allow more experienced users the ability to see where you are going wrong.

Yes, given the expanded capabilities, HueForge prices were raised on August 19th.

Not yet. I've got a bugfix build coming to the beta soon, but haven't touched any UI issues yet. I suspect a month or two.

@@hueforging I appreciate all your efforts, and will wait and pretend to be patient :P

You are on MacOS and you aren't saving under the Documents folder. On MacOS I was only able to work out permissions for a single folder (I think I might know how to do it betterr now) so you need to give permissions for Documents and then set up your folders under it.

@@hueforging ok. Thank you. Never had someone on RUclips give a response, much less a quick response. I am a diehard HueForge guy now.

@@JonneytheKidd don't be too hard on people who don't respond. I'm sure I'm going to have trouble as the channel gets bigger. Fortunately with only a shade under 7k subs, and relatively low view/comments, it's not too bad to keep up with comments. Plus I want everyone to have as good of an experience with HueForge as possible and I know where it has problems and unexpected behaviors.

Depends on which version you are using and what mode you are in. If you are trying to color pop the red and black and make his eyes green, you probably need to use Color Aware instead

What is your layer height in the slicer? Did you scale it up in the slicer?

@@hueforging nope.. just export it from hueforge and upload to bambu slicer Layer height is 0.08 because I don’t have 0.2 nozzle so I afraid to go lower to 0.04..

Also - in txt file they wrote at layer 0.88mm change to brown at layer 10 (but it’s 19) so I changed layer 19 and so on til I reach layer 47. And now the weirdest thing is I print it and it printed it with 27 layers that’s look the same as the 47 layers in slicer. If I follow the layer height filament change (not the layer number) it’s working great at the end. But if I choose layer number as filament change it will destroy it all.

It seems like your slicer is set to 0.04mm layer heights. Also, a 0.4mm nozzle is able to print at 0.04mm layers you just need to tell the slicer it is allowed.

@@hueforging oh I thought I must use 0.2 nozzle to use the 0.04 layer height. I was afraid something will happen

This is a fair comment. I'm going to build a page of example images on the store and link to that

I don't have an end date. The bugs and interface issues have to be addressed first. I'm guessing it will be at least a couple of months.

@@hueforging Thx. I'm really looking forward to this upgrade. It looks awsome. ;)

These are super basic and it would slow me down quite a bit to wait for the prints. The ideas are the most important part. And getting the info to people. I might do a "how I approach an image" video and show the print.

You need to use Command+Option on Mac. I didn't realize this was an issue until after the video was released.

You can use Command+Option on MacOS

@@hueforging Thank you It's working right now ;)

It sounds like you are doing something wrong. Are you doing this in the Mesh core or the Color Core?

@@hueforging which ever one opens up when hueforge is loaded up.

@@danm620 I highly recommend that you watch a few HueForge videos to understand how it works in general. Your Black and White with Red image is exactly what Color Pop was created for and there are multiple example projects using Color Pop in the Projects folder to look at. HueForge by default just views your image as luminance which is why what you are talking about happens. But various modes like Color Pop and Color Aware (and now Color Match in the beta) separate colors out much more powerfully.

@@hueforging cheers i just watched 2 of them again gonna rewatch as i try another model thankyou

It seems like you fundamentally don't understand what HueForge does. Have you loaded any of the premade examples? Sliders define both the overall height of the model, and layers of color. They don't define specific colors in the image, they define how many layers of a given color there are and where those layers are assigned. So if you move red beneath green, the way the green and red Filaments blend is going to change how the image looks. And the mesh is a heightmap so some of the areas are taller or shorter than others. When all sliders are down, you have a flat rectangle of zero height so I can see your argument for a checkerboard but really what you just did is nonsensical in this context.

I think you think of the sliders as creating the mesh, but this is incorrect. The image + Luminance method + Brightness Compensation creates the mesh. The sliders just color it. The sliders with dynamic depth set do adjust the overall depth of the mesh, but it isn't like building an image by layers of colors, the image is built, you are just painting it

@@hueforging I already understood that. I don't knwo what I said to give any other impression. I don't know what "the mesh" means in this context. I know what that word means in English ( A mesh is a set of interconnected nodes), but I don't see a mesh anywhere in HueForge. It seems the sliders set the number of layers of that colour which will be laid down, and the number in the box above each slider tells the software how translucent each filament is. These two together, set how strongly that colour is going to contribute to the end result. I think you are saying that this is wrong, but I can't understand what you mean with " the image is built, you are just painting it". I understand that the source image is inviolate - it doesn't change - and that the end result will always be that image - but the fiolament layers are colouring it. But nothing I;m saying above contradicts that, does it?

@chriswesley594 0 seconds ago @hueforging Thanks for your reply. I don't know what "the mesh" means.

But nothing I'm saying above contradicts that, does it?

I printed the iguana and very fine it looks too. Your second paragraph explanation is exactly what I thought though I still don't understand the reference to "mesh". I understand that with all sliders down, you have no filament - it's flat. But I don't know what you're referirng to with "what you just did". What did I just do?! I'm sorry - we seem to have incompatible brains. If you choose to give up - no worries - I appreciate your efforts this far.

I'd suggest watching a Color Match video since you basically describe what I already did

Annual upgrades are for the year. Lifetimes Professional is permanent commercial rights and 2 years of updates including betas

@@hueforging Thanks for that Info, I currently have your personal version (mainly so I can learn this) then I plan on buying the highest paid version to use after I learn it better. Lovewhat you have done with this software

@@hueforging one more thing, if i alreadyh own the personal (lifetime) and I updrage to this, will I loose my life time after the yr If I do not want the pro version anymore?

@@ddsfgdsdfdsfsdfthe Commercial annual reverts to personal use when year is up.

Glad it helped

You mean to Personal Use owners? The beta is out now for Commerical users. There isn't a fixed end date yet, I would guess it's going to take at least a couple of months to get things stable enough for full release.

@@hueforging ohh thanks. that's a really long time..

This is a huge change to both the function and internal structure of HueForge with a whole lot more potential for bugs and also changes to the interface. So it's going to need some time to shake everything out.

The mesh core effectively defines a custom luminance function and sets the mesh up. All the color matching is done on the mesh core color stack. If you try going into Color Match and setting just the red and blue in the color core, it will smear all over and the colors will be mixed based on brightness because of the default grayscale colors in the mesh core. So you have to do the mesh first.

@@hueforging thanks. I do get that, I just don't get the colors in the mesh part. Hmmm or are they just so that humans know what exactly are HF doing? idk

No. The Mesh Core literally sets how the mesh is built. Are you confused why there are two cores instead of one when the color core is mostly the same as the mesh core? That's because in early testing we found at often needed to use filaments we didn't have or image colors to get the color match to work well, and then we had to save the stl and load the STL by itself to adjust the Filaments to colors we actually have. At first I added "pausing" the color match but this made it impossible to incrementally adjust things. So I added a second core with a separate function.

@@hueforging thanks for the info. I cannot wait for v0.8 to get public (for non-commercial) and try it out :)

Thank you! Really it's about having tools that work for different people in different situations. I'm glad this one is flowing well for you!

No!! Keep using it just set aside some images for later. You can still make great stuff!

@@hueforging Hueforge Is too limited for now without this function but I will go back to it once the 8.0 will release.

Email at the store is fine

is the upgrade annual or lifetime?

Yes that is the plan. Hopefully one more tonight but then it will be at least a week before the next one

The beta is already released for MacOS and Linux yes. I released them all at the same time.

Color Match is different from Color Aware and will not give the same results. If you do not yet have access to color match (you are not a commercial backer) then this will not work for you yet. Once the beta period is over, it will be released to Personal Use buyers.

Sorry, I thought that my emails and posts about color match being a commerical only beta would cover that, but I can see how the video by itself doesn't indicate that

@@hueforging I got an email about a new version of hueforge yes. It does say that betas are part of commercial tier yes. But no where on the email does it mention color match or that color match is beta. Maybe I did not receive that email? I can forward what I received if you would like. No worries. I know now.

You are right, I don't mention Color Match specifically in the email. I have changed the video title to include 0.8.0-beta Only so hopefully that is clearer.

@@hueforging Thank you sir. I am definitely excited to try color matching. I am still very new to HueForge, but I have enjoyed it so far.

You will need the comercial version for the beta. If you got the personal version already. start buying the commercail and in the checkout put in this code PUUPGRADE

The beta is for Commerical tiers as they always have been.
